Ok rooted my DHD about week ago with AAHK have now try 3 diffrence roms. the newest rom (icecold sandwish) is doing so weird things once in allpications settings phone was showing only like every 3th letter or so and some where was only some mess reboot fixed this. also have got some random crushes but had some with original 2.3.5. Also had some weird battery problems used battery to 0% loaded up to 100% and when started phone it says was still 0% and switching off stucked on screen replug battery fixed this.
batween on 1 and 2 rom didint clear cache did only factory reset between 2-3 (current) did full clear so wondering is my phone now bit mess cos didint do the cache and dalvik cache between 1 and 2 or is it normal to do some little bugs?
just wondering as i have now custom rom can i have back my original android what was in before root if it havent been backuped?
and last when you press power and - volum at start screen is hboot recovery and factory reset what will it do actually the same as in recovery or will it reset the devise to same state as it was when i 1st got it ?
Ty All!
Do not do the factory reset - it will only make things really bad.
When in recovery, before flashing a rom:
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe dalvik
Format all partitions (except sd card)
That will make sure a good install of whatever rom you choose.
All ics roms are buggy. The devs are still working on them.
Suggestion: flash a gb rom.
You should be able to find a stock rooted rom if thats what you want.

One you need to full wipe and then flash rom. On ice cold the messed up letters no need to reboot its the launcher so go into launcher setting and restart launcher should fix issue. If your on ice cold see if you have the cfs kernel or bfs kernel cfs is known to cause reboots. As for hboot you can enter recovery that way do not wipe factoey reset there without a rom on sd to flash. It erases everything and if you don't have a rom to flash after your will regret it and be back here asking why phone won't turn on.
Welcome and enjoy the reading and learning.

So since my coming here, i got the phone rooted and added a sense rom to it from virtous version 1.0.1, also its over clocked a lil bit
now the phone was never right since the get go with this... but what im wondering is if i do a factory reset, what will happen? since i didnt save any image before, and have nothing to revert back too.... will it revert back to the stock htc desire z rom, or will it just reset back to a proper version of the virtous rom??
i only ask , cause so far my internet still doesnt work well, my bluetooth is always dropping calls, my market still doesnt work etc.....
any help/info would be great
Cheers all
If you wipe data/factory reset it will revert back to.... nothing. And stay and the HTC screen. Just DLa new ROM and flash through recovery(CWM). After you wipe data/factory rest... before you reboot.
I'm really digging meXdroidMod right now give it a try. (No sense though)

Don't forget to wipe your dalvic cache aswell.

Actually, I thought a factory reset simply wiped your data and cache partitions (so you lose all of your downloaded apps as well as all phone settings). Everything else should be left untouched (as in the phone will boot back to Virtuous 1.0.1 as if it were freshly installed).
Also, the dalvik-cache is stored on the data partition (unless you or the ROM you are using decided to move it), so wiping data will wipe it anyway.
ummm ok so which is the correct one here... i was under the impression that the last post here is what would happen... it would revert to a fresh installed Virtuous rom....
I know the problems im having must be from me not doing a full wipe when i installed it... i just needed to back up some stuff before i was able to do that,
but since i have done all that, I can clean the phone and start fresh, to hope all my stuff will work...
but can someone pls confirm which is the right information here
On my g2 when I did a wipe it went back to the stock rom that's on the g2 perm rooted I can't say for your phone though the best thing is to download a new rom system and cache wipe and then install a new rom

Factory reset only wipes the applications/personal data. The system partition (whatever rom you installed) stays there and it'll just reboot as if it was the first time ever.
So if you have a rooted stock rom, it'll go back to how you got it (probably non-rooted) and if you have any version of virtuous that'll still be there etc and will boot like the first time.
Factory reset also DOESN'T touch the bootloader, radio, radio, s-on/s-off or anything else, just the user data. Hope this helps to clarify!
yes it does, im hoping this will fix all the problems im having with my phone....
and just to confirm, a factory reset with the virturous rom installed, will reset my phone to the way the rom is ment to me, with zero possible overlaps from not doing a wipe when i upgraded??
So a "fresh" copy of the virtuous rom will be in place, and it will be like a brand new phone again.... then i just re add everything i need too/want too
HI... i updated my phone with cyanogen 7 rc2, but after it booted up it's stuck in the animation that says cyanogen mod 7 , and the blue android sign... in comes than goes, again it comes... about 20 min stuck... what to do???
It sounds like you need to go into recovery mode and delete all your caches. If you are using ClockworkMod recovery do the following (make sure you are backed up first):
Delete all user data and info (under wipe data/ factory reset),
Wipe cache (under wipe cache partition),
Wipe Dalvik Cache (under advanced).
Then once you've done that try installing and running the ROM again.
i done that one time... for info im using AmonRA.. i cleaned all the cache and everything also... and installed again... nothing happens... fortunately i restored my nand backup and booted my phone with the OTA again... waiting for some answer.... do u think that installing stable version can fix this?
Sounds like a bad flash. I had rc2 running for a month or so with no issues. I've had times when the rom just doesn't install properly ans reflashing fixes it.
Download the zip again, if possible check md5 to make sure it's all good, make sure you have the desire/bravo GSM version, clear everything and flash just the rom and nothing else. If it boots, then go back and flash your gapps and whatever else you want.

thx for replying.. as i was waiting for your reply, i download the cm 6 that is a stable version and checked, it has the same problem too.. i also downloaded GingerVillain 1.6 and it had the same problem too. do u think the problem might be that my phone is "s-on"? and how should i know if my phone is s-on or s-off... when i was rooting my phone with unrevoked, i checked the option that says disable security, but i'm not sure if it's disabled.... because i can't install un-signed zip packages....
any reply?
That definitely sounds odd. Its definitely not an issue with S-ON/OFF, nothing you've done here requires S-OFF to work properly.
Lets just make sure you're following all the steps.
In amonra, you've done your nandroid backup, so no need to do it again. There's no point having a non working backup
Go to wipe and wipe data/factory reset
Wipe davlik cache
Wipe sd-ext (shouldn't need to do this one as you don't have apps2sd yet, but better to be safe)
Now you flash your update.zip, then reboot and you should be fine. The only other thing I can perhaps suggest if every rom you flash sticks at boot is to perhaps try clockwork recovery instead of amonra. Apart from that we might have to wait for folks more knowledgeable than myself cause I'm all out of ideas.
thx for reply.... in meanwhile , i s-off ed my phone and it has the same problem too... i have problem with all cm and gingervillain roms.. but i don't have any problem with leedriod... one more question that maybe the problem is that i have android 2.2 installed, but gingervillain and cm use android 2.3 ... this maybe the problem.... and that's why leedroid works right, because it uses android 2.2.... i'm going to check OxyGen roms... i will post the result here...
i also faced same problem CM7 .. i tried CM6 and it went on fine..
heyyy... right after i posted the reply , i went to recovery and wiped anything, then installed gingervillain 1.6, and everything's fine now... it booted up and now im setting it up.... im going to check the cm 7 too.
i tried cm7 rc2 ... and it was fine and now im using it... here's a how to for solving the problem...:
1.S-OFF your device with AlphaRev : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=805811
2.Install the AlphaRev Recovery(S-OFF Image will do it automatically).
3.Go to recovery and install the rom...
4.Boot up and it should not go to system and it should stay in loop as the problem was..
5.Now you should reboot your device into recovery... there are two ways to do this... either take the battery off and put it on, then boot to bootloader by pressing the volume down and the power key and select recovery , or the second way connect it to your computer and start adb and run this command:
adb reboot recovery
6.In AlphaRev recovery first wipe the cache partition , wipe user data, and factory reset...
7.then install the rom (either cm7 or gingervillain)...
8. boot up , and now you have the system running...
This solved my problem... reply if it didn't yours...
hooo.. it worked for me now. just kept update.zip in a new SD card and not flashed google apps..
im very happy that i solved one's problem.. ... thread marked as solved...
*UPDATE* : now i realized that we can mark it as solved.. !!! hehe.. Admin do it for us...
My phone is rooted and I have had many custom roms on my phone, but now when my phone boots, it gets to the lock screen, and reboots automatically... I can get in to the recovery mode, and I flashed couple of different roms, but it ends up the same way - the moment it boots, it starts restarting itself... Any help??
If you flashed without wiping, that might be a problem. I know that when this happened on my old G1, clearing the dalvik cache helped. To do this, go into recovery, then go to "Advanced > Wipe Dalvik Cache". Also, while your in recovery, Fix permissions (same menu as clear dalvik cache), then reboot. The boot should take as long as a first boot, maybe a little quicker, but it should stop it.
another thing it could be is the wifi, on CM7 for example i'd get bootloops if i enabled the wifi on the 1st boot, dunno if the current nightly still does it coz i dont enable my wifi until i done one complete reboot after flashing a new ROM.
Or flash http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=868720
Full wipe 1.3 for ext3 and 1.5 for Ext4 roms , then re flash the Rom ur having problems with.

I tried all of this... still no luck... It's the same - boots up, the lock screen shows it self, and then it keeps rebooting...
Any new ideas?
Hmmmmm
What rom are you on at the moment?
It doesn't matter. I've changed couple of them. It started on ARHD, but it's the same when i flash cyanogen... Maybe I should try flashing radio? Because, when it boot's up, just before restarting, i see that it's not connected to the mobile network... And it first started happening when I landed in Turkey... Can it have something to do with their network??
I wouldn't think it's anything to do with the network....but i would flash the reccomended radio (the one from the 4th of january)

Also, wipe every partition manually (except /sdcard !) from the advanced menu in clockworkmod recovery, then use the wipe/factory reset option in the main menu, then flash the rom. If that doesn't work, the only thing i could suggest is using a WWE RUU from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824357
Make sure you flash one for either 1.32.405.3 or 1.32.405.6 (those are the only rootable firmwares, and the unbranded ones don't like being downgraded, so you'll need a goldcard if you flash higher). When the RUU finishes, it'll bring you back to stock, then you can root the phone again
As I thought, flashing radio helped!! Thank you very much!!
I flashed SNS Gingerbread v1.7,OTA 4.53 Sense to my EVO and the ROM won't start. The phone has been sitting for 2 hours. I only see the black screen with android then somtimes the white htc screen will pop up but the ROM won't start. How long should it take.
Help is appreciated.

have you tried clearing cache in recovery?
if that doesn't work, i would do a wipe and reflash the rom.
I run that ROM with no problems. Try wiping everything (cache data dalvik), and then reflashing the ROM. It's always going to take a little longer to start up the first time, like 5 minutes, but should be faster from there.
Im a little new so thank you for the patience, here is a quick order of how i was taught to flash
wipe data/factory reset twice
wipe cache partition twice
go to advance
wipe dalvik cache twice
wipe battery stats twice
install zip from sd card
choose zip from sd card
then select the rom,
after that the screen has the black background and android then flashs the white background htc,
any corrections you advise are appreciated
Are you using Clockwork or Amon Ra?
If Amon Ra, which I suggest you use, Wipe everything, except SDCard: (And Battery Stats if not fully charged). Everything else gets wiped.
Then flash the ROM and reboot.
Im useing Clockwork, will give it a third try
This time the evo loaded Kings Alliance (which i pulled from backup, previously today)
AKWARD??
Where did you get the ROM from? Possibly a bad zip file. Check the Dev section and download it from there. Then reflash and see how that works.
It probaly was a bad file i flashed a new one so now im working on overclocking thanks everyone

On TouchWiz Revolution follow these steps
1) Wipe data/factory reset
2) Wipe Cache partition
3) Format /System if coming from[KK]
4) Install Zip from SD Card
After installation:
Wipe Cache partition and Wipe dalvik cache. It is done. Enjoy
There are sometimes more than few reasons, one may be when ur phone gets too muched lagged that is it doesnt have ram enough to finish a certain task to clear ram it reboots, this is not the problem of rom some app is using extensive ram which ur phone cant handle......
